Homicide by Martin Daly
A rigorous, data-driven examination of who kills whom and why, synthesizing demographic, cross-cultural and case-level evidence to identify consistent patterns in homicide: most victims and perpetrators are young men, motives cluster around sexual rivalry, status and resource conflicts, and family-related killings show striking effects of kinship and step‑relationships. The authors use evolutionary theory—especially differences in reproductive strategies and parental investment—to explain why homicide risk varies by sex, age, relationship and social context, and they discuss implications for prevention and legal policy.
